(Xinhua)
Updated: 2009-09-28 10:00 Chinese Vice Premier Li Keqiang has called for orderly implementation of the country's healthcare reform. Li, also head of the State Council's leading group on healthcare system reform, made the remarks at a symposium in Jiangxi's capital city Nanchang on Saturday. Li underscored major projects to be carried out to push forward the reform by the year-end: -- The expansion of basic medical insurance coverage to 72 million more urban workers and unemployed residents, and ensuring at least 90 percent of the rural population to be covered.
-- Improving primary healthcare facilities, including county and township-level hospitals, village clinics, and community health centers. -- Ensuring about 30 percent of government-owned community health institutes and county-level hospitals use medicines on an essential drug list and sell them at controlled low prices. -- A pilot reform in about 100 state-run hospitals by the year-end to draw experience from trial projects to push forward the reform across the country. China's three-year plan for healthcare reform, involving an investment of 850 billion yuan ($124 billion), was unveiled in April. It aims to lay a solid foundation for equitable and universal access to essential healthcare for everyone in the country by 2020. (For more biz stories, please visit Industries)
